Being able to help resolve problems and keep our clients’ employees happy.

And your greatest challenge?
Learning how to step away from my old role.

How is fleet management changing?
It is becoming very much more of a human resources initiative, with particular emphasis on improving recruitment and retention of drivers.

Anywhere hot and sunny would suit me at the moment.
